JACQUES FREDERIC MUGNIER 2006 CHAMBOLLE MUSIGNY LES FUEES

WINERY NOTES -Les Fuéesis a traditional Burgundian word indicatingThe vineyard surface that a man can hoe in one day . (Translated from “Le vignoble bourguignon; ses lieux-dits” by Marie-Hélène Landrieu-Lussigny : printed by Jeanne Laffitte)This terroir has one of the stronger personalities of the Chambolle-Musigny Premier Crus. Its bouquet is less floral than the other parts of the village; instead it has a more mineral nuance, more “earthy” than the Chambolle “Village” appellation or Les Amoureuses. The aromatic base note is that of blackberries and blueberries.In the mouth it is well structured, full and rich, the “attack” is very straightforward.

THE SOMMELIER’S ADVICETo allow this wine to attain its full promise, it should be cellared for at least five years. In vintages of exceptional ageing potential, it can be kept for twenty to thirty years.
